Book Description:
After her husband's passing, Elizabeth Overfield decides that she must enter into another suitable marriage. That, however, is the last thing on her mind when she meets Colin Handrich, Lord Hodges, at the Westcott Christmas house party. She simply enjoys his company as they listen to carolers on Christmas Eve, walk home from church together on Christmas morning, and engage in a spirited snowball fight in the afternoon. Both are surprised when their sled topples them into a snowbank and they end up sharing an unexpected kiss. They know there is no question of any relationship between them, for she is nine years older than he.
They return to London the following Season, both committed to finding other, more suitable matches. Still they agree to share one waltz at each ball they attend. This innocuous agreement proves to be one that will topple their worlds, as each dance steadily ensnares them in a romance that forces the two to question what they are willing to sacrifice for love. . . .

Vikki’s Musings
I just finished reading Someone to Trust. This is a beautifully crafted love story from the first page to the last. I have long been a huge fan of Mary Balogh, and she does not disappoint with her latest novel. This is the fifth book in her new A Wescott Novel series. Thanks go to the publisher, via Net-Galley, for the opportunity to read and review an advance copy. My opinions are my own and are not influenced in any way.
Someone to Trust pulled at my heart-strings. This is a different romance since there is almost a ten-year difference between the hero and the heroine with Elizabeth being the elder of the two. That is not a common occurrence with a Regency romance. I enjoyed the book a great deal. This story does start out a bit slow but picks up in the second half.
The chemistry between this pair is strong and only grows stronger as the story progresses. The sexual tension builds from a tiny flame to a roaring blaze by the end. I thoroughly love it when that happens and what I expect in a Regency romance. Although these lovers should not fit, they do extremely well.
If you want to become enmeshed in the Regency world and find characters that will warm your heart, then I highly recommend Someone to Trust. I am loving these great stories and suggest you read the other books to fully appreciate this amazing series. Happy reading!
